Oswald A German Philosopher has said
"I know but two beautiful things
in the universe, the starry sky
above our heads, and the sense
of duty in our hearts."

Religion is the links men
with each other, unless self-love
and fanaticism render it a cause
of jealousy and hate. To pray
together in whatever tongue or
ritual is the most tender brother
hood of hope and sympathy that
men can contract in this life --

Corinne's fragments of though after her return to Italy

152 - It is not first love that is
ineffaceable - we love then because
our affections crave an object.

But, when, after we have known
life and our judgement is ma-
tured, we meet at last the mind
and the heart which we have
till then sought for in vain, -
imagination is lost in reality, and
reason itself aggravates our suffering --

Carlyle

"Knowest thou yesterday, its aim and reason?
Work'st thou well to day for worthy things?
Then fear not thou the morrow's hidden season,
But calmly wait what hap soe'er it brings."
